Setting up ideal spaces for dental implants is for patients with missing teeth due to periodontal disease or decay. This causes the remaining teeth to tip into the missing teeth spaces. The patient's bite will change and often makes it impossible for dentist to place ideal implants. In these cases, it requires the inter-disciplinary approach. It is best to have orthodontic treatment to establish ideal patient's bite and spaces before implant placement.
